The Canberra Carousel Organ is an iconic piece of Canberra's history. The 69 keyless fairground organ was built in 1911 and originally operated as part of the merry-go-round which now resides on City Walk in Civic.

TCCS facilitates approvals for driveway modifications and construction; construction impacting storm water easements; demolition and excavation waste; and construction impacting the verge or public open space.

Road Resurfacing

Resurfacing a road is like maintaining your house. If you don’t regularly repaint your house the sun, wind and rain will damage the structure and you will need to make repairs.

The environment oxidises the bitumen in the road and can cause it to become brittle and crack. This lets water into the base layers of the road which leads to the gradual formation of potholes.

The constant flow of traffic on a road wears the surface down and packs it smooth. This smooth surface can be slippery during periods of rain. This is most evident when slowing approaching intersections and roundabouts or when taking bends on roads.

Traffic noise increases with the increase of traffic volume and types of traffic using the roads. Resurfacing can reduce the noise generated from a road.

Other issues that can be addressed in the resurfacing process are:

An improvement in ride quality from patching

Removal of an old linemarking scheme

Removal of glare on rural roads

The two key improvements when resurfacing works are carried out are waterproofing the road (pavement life extension) and improving skid resistance (motorist safety). With the selection of a specific treatment, traffic noise from the road surface can be reduced.

Transport Canberra and City Services wishes to advise residents, motorists and other road users that following its 2018-19 road resurfacing program, remediation works will be carried out on some roads previously resurfaced in the following suburbs(weather permitting):
